Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett.

Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz‘s beloved purveyor of “swanky vegan comfort food,” Modern Love, has been a Williamburg staple since it opened there in 2016 (there’s also an Omaha location).

We have had a rough summer and are struggling to keep the doors open. We are doing our best work but having a restaurant is tough right now and we could use the support to continue to serve you. Support vegan restaurants or they will cease to exist. That’s the sad truth we are seeing all over the city.”
